Kidzania
Located on the sixth floor of the Pacific Place Mall, this is the place every parent wants their kid to be at. They will be playing and learning at the same time. Here, children get the chance to try a wide range of jobs. They also get to earn a salary and hence learn about the value of money.

First opened in 1975 by the former first lady Tien Suharto, this is a culture center that has interactive pavilions showing the 26 provinces’ cultures, dances and clothing. There are also 14 museums but if history is not what you are interested in then you need not feel left out. There are cable cars, IMAX theaters and varying performances you can enjoy here as well.
